Pre-Senior Baccalaureate | Embley, private school in Hampshire

Your child, their future

The 2040s: the decade in which many of our children will begin their careers in a world of work unlikely to be defined by a single profession or linear career path, but instead shaped by constant change and an increasing emphasis on uniquely human skills.

In a world evolving at an unprecedented pace, we believe true success will mean far more than academic achievement alone

Pre-Senior Baccalaureate (PSB) at Embley

Young people need the confidence to lead, the curiosity to explore, the resilience to embrace change and the compassion to make a positive impact on others. They must learn to communicate with conviction, collaborate effectively and think independently. These qualities sit at the heart of our learning experience and underpin everything we do.

The PSB is an innovative framework of study designed to prepare children for the challenges of life as young adults, academically, personally and culturally. It reflects our vision of equipping children not only to navigate their futures but to help shame them. Through the Embley Pupil Profile and the PSB framework, we combine rigorous academic learning wtih the essential human skills that artificial intelligence and automation cannot replace.    

The core skills of PSB 

Embedded across the curriculum, co-curriculuar programme, educational visits and leadership opportunities, the PSB st Embley develops six essential competiencies that support both academic and personal achievement.

• Collaboration
• Communication
• Independence
• Leadership
• Thinking & Learning
• Review & Improvement

More than academic success 

Research consistently shows that resilience, confidence, motivation and self-awareness are strong indicators of long-term success. At Embley, our approach combines rigorous academic learning with opportunities that help children discover who they are and what they can achieve.

Whether performing on stage, competing in sport, exploring the outdoors, leading a school initiative or participating in community projects, every experience contributes to their development as capable, well-rounded young people.

The PSB provides a framework for recognising and celebrating that growth while helping children become more reflective, engaged and ambitious learners.
